How to tell

[knappers]

How can you tell an FR tdi 184 from a tdi 150?
Any tell tale signs under the bonnet?

Rear suspension is only thing I can think off.. Have you got a reg plate? That'll be easy..type it on a insurance website and will show all the details

Probably easier to look at the back axle. 184 will independent rear suspension. I haven't looked under the bonnet of a 150 but I guess they are very similar.

184 has bigger brakes - also the position of the rear caliper is different.

I haven't looked closely at mine but the sticker on the boot floor?

This used to show engine code and/or power output in Kw.

Agreed
184 rear caliper is level with the wheel centre
150 rear caliper is above wheel centre

Okay, cool.
Just checking. We only bought the car a week or two ago, and the wife has just had her insurance renewal through. It states it as a fr 2.0 tdi 181. It's definitely a 150 as it has the beam rear axle.
Even for a 184, their price would still be too bloody much, though.
What's frustrating is that the same insurer is coming in at £200 cheaper on confused.com.

Loyalty doesn't pay with car insurance. Always cheaper to move around.

it should also tell you the power output on your V5

ring your insurers and tell them you have got a cheaper quote for them and hopefully they will price match. My son is with elephant, found a quote that was £200 cheaper with admiral, phoned elephant and they matched the cheaper quote without hesitation because elephant is admirals sister company
